Quneitra, June 20 (SANA) Civil Defense teams extinguished on Saturday a fire that broke out in agricultural lands near the industrial city located between the towns of Khan Arnabah and Ein al-Nouriyeh in the northern countryside of Quneitra.
The Civil Defense of Quneitra told SANA that firefighting teams rushed to the site immediately upon receiving a report from local residents, successfully surrounding and controlling the flames before they could spread to surrounding areas.
The team pointed out that the fire destroyed approximately 10 dunams of grass, confirming that Civil Defense teams conducted cooling operations post-extinguishment and inspected the site to ensure no remaining hot spots could cause the fire to reignite.
The team added that the rapid response and early intervention contributed significantly to limiting damages and preventing the blaze from extending to wider areas of adjacent lands.
Civil Defense teams in Quneitra Governorate continue to work around the clock to respond to reports regarding grass and open-land fires, particularly during the summer season, to protect agricultural lands and facilities while limiting losses caused by spreading fires.
